just let you know not to worry bout scan. i ad 2. i think a smear is more uncomfortable.
i agree it was bit funny tho when they put condom on probe, think it was a bit late for condoms. lol

all the best.

...i had one of these at around 6 weeks as my doc suspected i was having an ectopic pregnancy - i was not, but better safe than sorry. they did an abdominal scan and could see pregnancy was in the womb but also did a trans-vaginal scan to have a closer look. the quality of the picture is better. all i could see was the yolk sac and a tiny heartbeat but he said that if i had been further on then i would have been able to see a better version of an abdominal scan. i think that you will probs see quite a lot at your stage.

its just like having a smear test really. i got the giggles, i think itb was when the sonographer put a condom on the probe and some ky jelly, the look on hubbys face!!! hilarious. anyway. doesnt hurt but just a bit embarrassing.

good luck to all.

Tammy i totally agree with kelly, the first one i had i thought it was werid but funny but like a smear test and if they exmained you when you went to emergancy room its like that which is also like a smear test. second one i had i felt more relaxed about it as i knew it didnt hurt and just thought of it as a smear. To be honest i'd rather have a trans-vaginal then the normal one, any day.

Kelly- i am glad its not only me who got the giggles, i couldnt stop laughing and nick even started laughing coz he found it funny that i found it funny if you get what i mean, lol.

Hey Tamz,

I had one of these when I was 6 weeks as it was too early to see anything on a normal (trans-abdominal) scan. It's normal to be asked to have an empty bladder for this type of scan even though you need a full bladder for abdominal one.

The sonographer will put a probe inside you, it's not painful, just a little embarassing!

This is the best way to see baby at this early stage so you should see him/her quite clearly.

Good Luck with the scan
Take care

These scans are much clearer. Not at all painful and to be honest, you're far to interested in the screen to care whats going down there. Oh, wear a skirt if you can, it's easier than stripping from the waist.

Good luck hun, hope it all goes well.
